The Christian Albrechts University Kiel in cooperation with MetStröm invite to the 6th Scientific Computing Seminar with special emphasis on Variational Multiscale and Stabilized Finite Elements (VMS) 27 - 29 June 2012, Kiel, CAU

The numerical simulation of flow problems is a typical multiscale problem. The approach named 'Variational Multiscale Method' (VMS) describes a powerful tool for computational mechanics dealing with large ranges of scales. Originally intended to provide a new framework for turbulence modelling, VMS methods have recently been used to come up with several new finite element stabilization techniques.

Although the advantage of those new techniques over classical residual-type stabilization is illustrated in recent publications, many mathematical questions remain unaddressed, in particular the impact on time-dependent problems, the effects for Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and the connection to optimal control problems. This workshop is a platform for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art developments on VMS methods with stabilized finite elements.

Workshops on VMS methods take place annually. Previous VMS workshops:

2004: Göttingen

2005: Heidelberg

2007: Lausanne

2008: Saarbrücken

2009: Twente

2010: Pau

2011: Glasgow
